When mercury is added to aluminum, it forms an amalgam (a mercury alloy). Aluminum is normally protected by a thick oxide layer, but the formation of the amalgam disrupts it. It allows fresh aluminum to react with air to form white aluminum oxide. As the oxide grows, it forms as these cool white fibers.

Are your tweets just as idiotic as what you say in your videos? I need to learn how to do this so I can start making sweet sweet youtube money. Gotta start talking me dumb so i gets all the views. Ya know, because views are what get you the youtube money. It's how of how USclip works. Unfortunately, I don't know what I'm doing, so I'll just have to randomly try different things, and if they don't work, I will go ahead and explain them again before doing them again.

dude instead of using dilute acids to dissolve the oxide layer and then using Hg to react with Al ....use nessler's reagent ( potassium tetraiodomercurate ) the reaction is more faster and it's quite exothermic... so the reaction will tend to occur faster than using elemental mercury

These days if a drop of Mercury gets spilled the hazmat team is called in. When I went to school the science teacher had a little vile of mercury and he would pour some into a students hand .The student would look at ,roll it around in their hand and pass it on to the next student. We never washed our hands before lunch. Now this would be a major incident , the teacher would probably get fired.

Anyone else worried about the thin and incredibly delicate gloves he’s wearing while handling mercury???????SeriouslyJust looking at those gloves the wrong way can tear them... Wouldn’t doubt we hear about this guy having brain issues in the future /:Many gloves can absorb mercury through the “pores” in them

Is this defined as a crystal?So can Gas Chromatography watch aluminum and mercury mix together in the brain after vaccines? If not, what method then?There is oxygen in brain right...and in blood?And yes, Mercury is still in vaccines, Flu shot especially, and China uses it in vaccine production to USA.

+David Partridge I have already seen the studies on neurodegeneration. Scientists have already found heavy metals accumulate in tissues. Study heavy metal toxicity symptoms, they match autism symptoms.Thimerosal is still in vaccines due to unregulated China making most vaccines for the USA, and they use it in the manufacturing process, it cannot be removed...even if it could they would not attempt to do so since it would raise manufacturing cost. Pre-inflammatory cells deliver heavy metals to the brain tissues.All you people like to talk about differences in metal types, organic or otherwise, but it seems it is all bad. Ingested, injected, or touched.

"A vaccine containing 0.01% thimerosal as a preservative contains 50micrograms of thimerosal per 0.5 mL dose or approximately 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5 mL dose. For comparison, this is roughly the same amount of elemental mercury contained in a 3 ounce can of tuna fish.Feb 2, 2018"Source, FDA

You still have demonstrated zero understanding of the difference between thimerosal and mercury as well. learn about something before trying to make claims about it. I also found zero studies related to people with autism having neurodegeneration.

I played with mercury when I was a 4 year old(40 years ago). I knew where my father stored it and I got ahold of it. I knew not to touch it and I dropped a bit of it out the container to watch it form a ball and then I carefully placed it back. I'm still here on earth. The thoughts of it haunt me until this very day.

In the 18th century bronze was gilded by mixing gold powder with mercury. This was then brushed on and heated. The effect was literally to plate the bronze with gold. Gilded bronze is called "ormulu" or "bronze d'ore" The heating of the mercury produced very toxic gas.

+sierra 117 There are a lot other reason and mercury isn't one of them. But may be it will help you to learn some foreign language too and realize that there are so many people commenting on USclip and a lot of them are esl.Who knows...

Hello!I'd change one defect in avogadr.io...when I change background to white colour then «X» (back button) «disappears», bcs it's white too (and button "back" is still working, you should touch the place was visible "X" before).Change it, please. Good videos)

I have to wonder, what would happen if we set out a pan of mercury in a field where there's a lot of chemtrails being laid overhead? I'm thinking something like this could already have occured. Remember the people having found entire areas covered with what they believed looks like glistening spider webs. ?

"This crater is really important because mercury is super annoying, and without it, it would just slide off the plate." I'm learning so much science today guys. So much well defined, fully explained science.
